This morning, while Lily was sitting in her little bouncy seat, sunlight was making thin streams through the cord-holes in the window blind, making a pattern on the cabinet next to her. Lily noticed the pattern and was reaching out to try to touch it. I can’t covey in writing how beautiful this vignette was.
Nor can I convey the somehow adorable snorty-pig sounds she makes when she is hungry, the funny way she scrunches up her nose as she goes to eat, the tiny lilting musical sounds she makes as she nurses, how pretty her tiny mouth is against my breast, her dainty hand resting on my skin, or the satisfied drunkenness when she is full. I hope I will carry these in my mind’s eye always.
On Monday Tiger got into the back seat of the car with her, and she reached out to him, as if she wanted him to pick her up. She’s never done that before. He was absolutely crushed that he couldn’t oblige her request.
